Reasons why I prefer (Windows) PC over Apple computers

When I talk with Apple enthusiasts they often question me why the heck I prefer crappy PC over super cool Apple computers. My main reasons are the freedom of choice, developer tools and the fact I can make money with PCs (update: read Windows). Perhaps

Speeding up build times dramatically

I have a VS 2005 solution with 19 projects.In total it consumes ~600MB of disk space (entire solution folder, including binaries). Needless to say that build times are relatively high. They are high even though my workstation has 4GB of RAM, RAID 0+1

Peculiar problem involving Windows 2003, VMWare Server, SQL Server 2005 and networking

Over the weekend I've built my new server - yes, the content you are reading right now is served from it. Perhaps more about this new server in another post. Back to the point. Host OS on the server is Windows 2003 R2 x32 and there is also a SQL Server

Playing video or audio in Vista is a booby trap

Since I switched to gigabit network some months ago I often saw a lousy network performance against other computers in my local network. It wasn't enough annoying to actually investigate. However, one day I said: enough is enough. Time for an investigation

Windows Home Server as a backup server

In case you don't know: Microsoft Windows Home Server (WHS) has gone RTM a while ago . The problem is that you can't find one in the store yet (unless you are located in New Zealand ) , nor it appears in MSDN due to some odd decision. For now the only

Team Foundation Server 2008 and all of the 64 bits

Microsoft is lately trying to go 64 bits with their OS. Vista x64 isn't going anywhere due to the lack of 3rd party drivers (hey, it is hard to obtain even 32 bit drivers for Vista , you can forget about 64 bits for now). At least that's my experience.

iTunes developers should start using iTunes

If you have an iPod you are more or less stuck with iTunes. If iTunes was perfect this wouldn't be that bad. However, it isn't perfect, far from it. Apple is creating superior software, right? Wrong. Just take for example this problem I've found. Let's
